Abstract
A colour killer in a colour television receiver, provided with A.G.C., is controlled by a signal obtained by detecting the gated and frequency selected colour sync. (burst) signal and also by detecting the colour signal gated during the flyback period without frequency selection, so that it includes noise components, the outputs of the two detectors being arranged to vary the colour killer control signal in opposite senses. As shown, Fig. 1, the chrominance signal, separated from the received signal in a circuit 1 having A.G.C. feedback loop 11, is applied to an amplifier 19 one output of which is applied to a gate 33 opened by flyback pulses from timebase 23 to select the colour sync. signals which are amplified in 43 and applied to a filter 49 to select the colour subcarrier frequency. This signal is applied to a variable gain amplifier 55 the output of which is detected in 73 to produce a control voltage which is applied as A.G.C. to the chrominance amplifier 19 which also acts as a D.C. amplifier to apply the control voltage to the colour killer input of the colour decoder 91. A second output of amplifier 43 is applied to a valve 111, the grid and cathode of which act as a diode, to detect the noise component of the signal and the resulting grid voltage is applied to control the gain of amplifier 55. The amplitude of the colour subcarrier signal at the output of amplifier 55 is maintained constant by the A.G.C. 2 loop until amplifier 19 reaches its maximum gain. Further decrease in the input signal causes a reduction in the output signal but at the same time the noise component of the chrominance signal is increased due to the action of the receiver A.G.C. 1 loop 11 so that a voltage is produced by the noise detector circuit and applied via resistor 117 to amplifier 55 to reduce its gain. This has the effect of reducing the output signal of amplifier 55 to an even greater extent thus reducing the control voltage to amplifier 19 and hence to the colour killer circuit input 89. The circuit thus results in a sharp decline of the colour killer control voltage at a predetermined signal input level to improve the stability of operation with mains voltage variations. The valve 111 also acts as a colour burst amplifier the output of which is applied to synchronous detector 123 together with the output signal of amplifier 55 to generate a phase difference signal which is applied to controllable tuner 129 to adjust the frequency of filter 49 so that the colour reference signal is phase locked to the received signal. A capacitor 77 is also included between the output of detector 73 and the gain control input 79 of amplifier 55 to provide an A.G.C. loop to compensate for rapid fluctuations in the colour burst amplitude, the A.G.C. 2 loop to amplifier 19 being slower acting. The control voltage produced by detector 73 need not be applied as A.G.C. to amplifier 19, and may be applied directly or via a separate amplifier to the colour killer input 89. The receiver A.G.C. may be controlled by the output of detector 73.
